We had a middle name thread how about sitcom wives maiden names? For beginners I'll start with Laura Meeker (Laura Petrie). Her maiden name was originally Meehan but changed to Meeker later for some reason!

About Marcia and Jan Brady.....wouldn't their actual maiden names be Marcia and Jan Martin? They were legally adopted by Mike, but their biological dad was Roy Martin.

Was Maude Findlay's full name ever revealed, w/ all her married names? That would be interesting.

About Marcia and Jan Brady.....wouldn't their actual maiden names be Marcia and Jan Martin? They were legally adopted by Mike, but their biological dad was Roy Martin.

I think that a maiden name is a woman's last name just before she is first married, so Brady would correct for Marcia & Jan. As far as their dad's first name being Roy, that was only added in A Very Brady Sequel, and that was because the movie made him out to be the Professor from Gilligan's Island, whose name was actually Roy Hinkley.

In all legalities, would a child who is legally adopted by a stepparent have their biological dad's name removed from their record? I'm just curious....I'm very aware of where the name Roy came from, since Sherwood never named him in the original series.

Wasn't Clair Huxtable's maiden name "Hanks"?

Yes. I have read that Bill Cosby chose that for Clair's maiden name since it is also his real-life wife Camille's maiden name. I have also read that she is related, as is Tom Hanks, to Abraham Lincoln, whose mother was born Nancy Hanks.

Barbara Harper Douglas

In My Three Sons, Harper was Barbara's last name from her late husband and the [original] last name of her daughter. Her maiden name, assuming that her widowed mother had not remarried, was Vincent. That would make her full name, aside from any middle name that she may have had (Was this in the wedding ep?), Barbara Vincent Harper Douglas.

In all legalities, would a child who is legally adopted by a stepparent have their biological dad's name removed from their record? I'm just curious....I'm very aware of where the name Roy came from, since Sherwood never named him in the original series.

That all depends on if the mother wrote the fathers name on the birth certificate. And in some cases, if a father signed his rights as a parent away and consented to allowing the child to be adopted than the child would take the name of the adoptive father.

from One Life To Live:

Dr. Dorian Cramer Lord Callison Santi Vickers Hayes Laurance (though i question if she and David Vickers ever were legally married and if any of her marriages were legal if Victor Lord was really alive as he was said to be in 2003 during the Mitch Laurance/Natalie/Jessica story)...

you mean Dr. Lilith Sternin CRANE (not Cramer)... Frasier's last name is CRANE. Dr. Frasier CRANE.

Helen Armbrewster Roper (Three's Company)


Armbrewster is Helen's sister's married name, her husband is Hubert Armbrewster.

Vivian (Smith) Banks of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"


Vivian was (the character) Will Smith's mother's sister, not his father's sister, so unless both his parents were named Smith (given that this is a fictional Will Smith, not the real person, it is possible), her maiden name was different. According to Wiki, the real Will Smith's mother's maiden name is Bright, so this could perhaps be Vivian's maiden name, if it was ever revealed on the show.

There was one episode, where they referred to "the Smith sisters". So I can only assume, that both Will's parents had the same last name (and with a last name as common as "Smith", it's possible), or that Will never carried his father's last name.

It was revealed. Season five on the Soul Train episode. Vivian plays a VHS tape of a Soul Train episode from 1970 that she and Phil danced on. When Don C. asks what their names are, she says her name is "Vivian Smith, scorpio".
